His beak had gone through the skin and

Who has rot seen the big van of the
City Prison rattling through the streets,
going at lively pacel And who has
not watched it as it passed and then ex-
claimed. 1.-THE Black Maria" Its heavy
iron sides with here and there slot
opening for air, its heavily locked door
and steps behind, all suggestive of the
inmates. A prison on wheels An iron
cell filled with the outcasts, the thieves,
the murderers, all part of the popua-
ton of this great metropolis. And who,
when near the Sessions building, has not
felt the common impulse of the passerby,
the morbid DESIRE the strangely fasci-
mating wish to ga on the prisoners as
they came out of the rolling Jail and
passed into the presence OF tie Court ?
The handouts, "bracclets" a the police
men jocularly term them. tie rutfianly,
sometimes ared and sometimes inno-
cent faces of the young criminals and
the careless air of the practiced ro,- -uc,
all have peculiar a!traction-a drawing

Somewhat Absent Minded.

Speaking OF embarrassing episodes"
said real estate man, 81 unconsciously
aided and abetted in one the other day.
went into one of the large downtown
lunch rooms with friend who is a
connoisseur in the matter of overcoats.
He wears good coat and he always re-
moves this coat with care and hangs it
up with due reference TO the turn of the
collar. As he was in the act of hanging
up his coat he knocked mine down, and
stopping with apologies he caught mine
up and replaced it. My friend boasts a
good deal of his self-possession under
trying circumstances, but as he put my
coat in place he caught the eyes of two
lady acquaintances at distant table,
and removing his hat he made most
elaborate bow. Then he absent minded
ly put his hat in the rack, and, forgetting
that he had already removed his over
coat, unbuttoaed his cutaway and before
| could interfere he stood before the
fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen
present in his shirt sleeves. There was
a laugh at his expense, and he afterward
explained to me that he would not have
had it happen in the presence of those
ladies for thousand dollars. " Chicago

A Remarkable Climate,

At point where the two ranges of the
Cordilleras, the eastern and western,
which traverse Peru from north to south,
meet, and form what is known as the
junction of Pasco Eel nudo de Pasco) is
located the city of Cerro de Pasco, 1856
miles from Lima. 1t is built upon hon
eycombed foundations and possesses a
most remarkable climate by reason of its
great height above the sea level. From
December to March, season which the
people of the Cerro term their winter,
whereas in reality it their summer, the
temperature during the day is from 10
to 13 degrees above zero, at night it falls
to near zero, but the water seldom
freezes.
During thisseason the sun appears at
times, and from the purity of the atmos-
phere the heat caused by his rays is al
most unbearable. A person may be
standing partly in the shade; that por-
ton is disagrecably cold, while the part
exposed to the sun is uucomfortably
warm 1t would be difficult to find
another locality where the atmospheric
changes are more distinctly marked. -

Horse Bread.

Horse bread is still commonly made in
Sweden. 1t is also commonly made and
used in Tyrol, and in certain parts Of
Switzerland-the Engadine, for instance.
Your driver stops at roadside inn, and,
before he buys anything for himself, he
buys for his horse large cake of brown
oat bread, circular, fattish, the size and
shape of Yorkshire yulc cake. The
strong, quiet steady horse-or mare very
likely-knows well what all this means;
looks on with eager eyes as he slices the
cake into strips; munches slice after slice
with keen enjoyment; and finally, per-
haps, lays its lips upon his palm, to sug-
gcst the possibility OF another loaf. Soma
drivers, indeed, themselves desirous of a
meal, are content to crumble the bread
into trough; and in that case the horse
will not only eat all the larger pieces, but
will with teeth and tongue take up every
morsel and crumb that strcws the floor OF
the trough. Such are his views as to the
merits Of oaten bread.-Notes and QRcr-

RecOmpense.

Every summertime when roses fade,
Fades one more rose.
Every autumn, when the dead leaves fal,
One moro leaf goe.
One more bird flies with the lying year.
Fleet-winged and strong
Leaves another empty nest, where broods
But echoing song.
But each frost time, when the heavens arch
Cleans cold and far,
Through the trembling twilight gloom
ascends
Another star.
Sometime all tho roses will be gone.
The leaves, all dead,
Fill the paths with heaps of rusty gold
While overhead,
Only empty nests, forsaken, fill
The branches bare;
Only songs of wandering minstrel winds
Sweep round them there.
Yes, what matter, souif 4Sy rccomrense
Look up and see
Where, with countless stars o'er-brimmed,
the sky
